Jailed BRS leader K Kavitha rushed to DDU Hospital in Delhi after health concerns

New Delhi: BRS leader K Kavitha, who is lodged in Tihar jail here in connection with a money laundering case, was taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital on Tuesday, officials said.

The 46-year-old Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case on March 15.

"She was taken to DDU Hospital due to some health issues," an official said.

She was arrested for her alleged connection to the Delhi liquor case.

Kavitha had approached a Delhi Court on July 8 seeking 'default' bail in the corruption case linked to the alleged excise policy scam. The Delhi High Court, however, rejected her bail plea.

Further details are awaited.
